Hursley

Hursley, a village of Hampshire, 5 miles SW. of Winchester. John Keble, author of the Christian Year, was vicar here from 1835 till his death in 1866. In 1848, with the profits of that celebrated work, he restored the church, which is rich in modern stained glass. Keble himself lies buried in the churchyard, and in the chancel is the grave of Richard Cromwell.
